    Excellent video, I'm glad YT suggested it to me. I bought mine in 2021, and it doesn't have any funky screws like that. I don't have any need to open it up anyway, though. I could tell it was heavy-duty and/or made well the first time I picked it up, as it has some weight to it. I've been super happy with it as well. It's a very transparent attenuator, much more so than many others I've heard.

    It has all the features I'd want in a power attenuator / load box.

    This was an excellent choice for a teardown! Suggestion: It might be short and boring but I would love to see the inside of a GigRig Quartermaster.

    This is a really interesting change of pace, for someone who is really only hobby-level on Guitar related electronics, I really appreciate videos like this and the Garnet Stinger build, since both videos not only bring up questions I wouldn't think to ask, but either directly answers or at least gives me the terminology to look up the answer to those questions.

    Looks like a pro level unit.

    Been using one for years. Great unit. Only complaint would be the text labelling just rubs off if touched after time.

    Open up new Fulltone pedals. I love Fulltone.

    That looks nicely designed and built, but very generously specified. Adjusting both input and output impedance is nice, I imagine there's must be 6 different windings on that transformer? Does it seem transparent enough or does it interfere with that holy output transformer / speaker interaction we read about in forums?

    "does it interfere with that holy output transformer / speaker interaction we read about in forums" I think for those who believe in this, the question is already answered lol.

    I need one but I don’t know if aracom still exist! They don’t answer mails 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Mhh is it possible to get a schematic of this unit to build it my self ? I really need one of those 😢

    Since that one says load, can you run it without a speaker?

    yes correct! Don't quote me, but I believe it defaults to a load box when you don't connect a speaker and you select "F" on the attenuation knob.
